SUMMARY:PlayLab: Music and Culture with Mr. Rayz!
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Asian Heritage Month in PlayLab with Mr. Rayz and the
  vibrant sounds of Indonesia’s angklung. Through storytelling and perform
 ance\, this program invites young visitors to experience how music connects

  music\, culture\, and sound together.\n\n12:00 pm – World Music: History
  of the Indonesian Angklung\n1:00 pm – Live Music Performance\n\nMr. Rayz
  is a children’s entertainer\, educator\, and virtual performer who has b
 een working with kids from all backgrounds for over twenty years. From his 
 start working in an orphanage in Guyana\, South America to now\, he knows t
 hat it is music\, story and presence that can really impact a child's life.
  Long before he became Mr. Rayz\, Ray Van Gobel pursued child counselling s
 tudies at a small international school in Seattle Washington. From there he
  worked with Super Saturday Kids Club \, a ministry that reached over three
  hundred children from low income families in Surrey BC. Further in his car
 eer he also pioneered two after school kids clubs in South Calgary. And now
  Mr. Rayz has headlined the Grand Prairie Children's Festival 4th St Lilac 
 Festival\, Sunfest\, Calgary's own Create Children's Festival and dozens of
  preschools\, ymcas\, libraries\, elementary schools and childcare centres 
 in Calgary and Alberta.\n\nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where you
 ng visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that fe
 ature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids exper
 iment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vib
 ration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape soun
 d on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed f
 or curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely
 \, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.\n\n*Play
 Lab is made possible with support from the Alberta Museums Association and 
 the Radomski Foundation.\n\nhttps://www.visitcalgary.com/events/playlab-mus
